I need to send mail from machine with hostname "host.domain1.com" where the DNS records are, but wantto be able to send mail from this machine for "domain2.com" as well so this is what my SPF record looks like: "v=spf1 a a:domain2.com ~all" Is this correct?

Hello all, I am trying to get a Hauppauge PVR-150 to work on Debian Lenny. I guess it comes with the kernel because I get "dpkg: error processing /usr/src/ivtv-modules-2.6.26-1-686_1.2.0-1+2.6.26-13_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/lib/modules/2.6.26-1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa717x.ko', which is also in package linux-image-2.6.26-1-686" if I try and do "m-a a-i ivtv" if I do "v4l2-ctl --all" I get "Failed to open /dev

/video0: No such device or address" It is there as file says "/dev/video0: character special". In dmesg I have things like "[512114.063265] ivtv0: Unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw (must be 376836 bytes) [512114.063347] ivtv0: Did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?" Anyone know what should be done? A lot of documentation seems to be fore etch, it seems there was no module provided with

tazzy, Are you inside the firefox directory? Although if you don`t have a reason for wanting firefox instead of iceweasel you really should go the iceweasel route as Debian updates that so it gets updated along with your other packages and does some other Debian patching

Is there a built-in method to backout packages under Debian? I suppose there is always restoring from backup. And I suppose I could just keep packages in the apt-cache, and should I need to back something out, run dpkg -i $oldfile.deb. Neither solution seems ideal, though. Traditional OSs normally store backout information for patches; does Debian have something similar?

dondelelcaro: on other OSs, such as Solaris and Windows, all files touched during a patch are backed up to a patch-specific directory. If you need to backout the patch, the older files are restored. I was hoping for a Debian equivalent.

Gokee2: Yes, saa717x.ko was included in kernel 2.6.26, use of 'ivtv-source' is not necessary. You're required to provide the requested firmware from the associated Windows driver, see http;//ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware

The card was working before with many versions of ubuntu (8.04 and less) so I saved the results of lsmod, did a diff and added the missing modules to /etc/modules. But after each reboot I still need to configure the sound

it has been said that speaker-test is do; "speaker-test -tsine -f440 -c2" or perhaps "speaker-test -t wav -c 2" for a nicer female voice, instead of a tone to test if speakers are working in alsa (install alsa-utils), ask me about <alsa checklist> and <soundcheck>

I can't get my text consoles (ctrl-alt-F1 thru F6) to work; my monitor shows a "signal out of range" error. I get a normal boot console, X works fine, but after the display manager loads I can't access the consoles at all; this includes shutdown messages after X closes. Anyone have any ideas?

To use an NVIDIA graphics card with Debian, see http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers. If you've done it before, asking me about <nvidia pre-built> or <nvidia m-a> might work. Installing directly from nvidia.com (ie. with <nvidia-installer>) is _not_ supported in #debian, please go to #nvidia (irc.freenode.net).

okay, my migration to libglib1.2ldbl finally succeeded without losing the old packages (including xmms, gtop, glotski, and more). It involves a really ugly hack to edit the control file of libglib1.2ldbl to not conflict with libglib1.2 and installing a dummy libglib1.2. In case anyone has a better idea of how an update of libglib1.2ldbl won't break my obsolete packages again, I'm all ears.

somebody said dmm was Debian Multimedia, a repository of unofficial Debian packages, not in Debian for patent-related reasons, maintained by Christian Marillat. For information on how to use this repository, see http://debian-multimedia.org/ or ask me about <dmm etch> <dmm lenny> <dmm squeeze>

jaakko, booting from IDE2CF adapter on specific machine (server and backup-server) results in a reset at IDE initialization. Same CF on six other servers works great. Boot on specific server and with same CF from USB cardreader - works

anyone running a LUKS system with *keys* . i made a new larger home but at reboot i got the "bad superblock error" , "corrupetd...", "e2fsck -b 8193" suggestion . none of this works . no help from google . the solution is : edit cryptab : set none for home instead of home.key so you can boot , then make a new home.key , edit cryptab back . works like a charm :)

Debian users: at least up the the kernel released with Lenny, Debian applies a patch in the Debian kernel sources which prevents the use of ata_piix with PATA devices (like the IDE bus for the Ultrabay). You will have to either use an upstream kernel or (re)patch the Debian kernel sources.

it has been said that memtest is http://www.memtest.org/ . Also check out http://rick.vanrein.org/linux/badram/ or check out the packages memtest86 and memtest86+, or "aptitude install memtest86+" and read /usr/share/doc/memtest86+, or for cpu temperature testing use the cpuburn package, or ask me about <cpuburn>

i need help with installing from usb flash drive (not installing TO usb flash drive), what I did so far makes a 256mb format partition of my 4gb flash drive that wants a debian net-inst iso but i have enough space for a whole cd1 so I just want to know how to make it format above 256mb, I did the following: zcat /home/deniz/boot.img.gz > /dev/sda

[vfat] a very fat 32 bit version of a pathetic filesystem, or apt-get install dosfstools, then man mkfs.vfat, or for info on getting write access for regular users, "/msg apt vfatrw", or you should not be using this filesystem unless Windows needs to read it.

i have installed extensions, but it keeps saying restart to install them, i have restarted iceweasle quite a few times now but still no luck, i have also had a loot at permissions and can see no problem

fxiny, i dont think he is complaining about error messages from luks, he's complainging that after he types in ia luks passphrase, ordinary kernel booting messages are shown, that should be suppressed by the 'quiet' option

abrotman: I'm sorry I can't right now, because the files were in 10 pcs at a school, last week. The thing is that the network was connecting ok, then I had to edit the file, and restart the network. After restarting the network, I wouldn't get connected anymore. Then I rebooted the machines, and they started to connect again. Basically that.

hi everybody, i'm new to linux and I have a problem with my sound card working in vmware; it works fine in debian 5.0 but it won't get detected in vmware and i get this message: msg.noAutodetectBackingQuestion:Cannot connect virtual device sound. No corresponding device is available on the host. Would you like an attempt to be made to connect this virtual device every time you power on the virtual machine? ..... any way i can sol

I have a problem with my sound card working in vmware; it works fine in debian 5.0 as a host but it won't get detected in vmware and i get this message: msg.noAutodetectBackingQuestion:Cannot connect virtual device sound. No corresponding device is available on the host. Would you like an attempt to be made to connect this virtual device every time you power on the virtual machine? ..... any way i can solve this problem?

hello, i need to enable ip networking in my lenny initrd and have gotten as far as IP-Config leasing an ip address from the DHCP server. on an initrd shell the command 'ipconfig eth0' works fine, but i can't figure out the syntax to just manually specify an ip confiuration

his idea is that he doesn't want the server to have access to its root filesystem (where /etc/ would be) until it gets a key from some remote person. sounds weird but SHOULD take us away from the "just use /etc/network/interfaces" kneejerk response.

tcsetattr, i might do that. i had another setup that did use ifconfig, however lenny somehow broke it. it worked fine on etch, and in lenny it gives me 'can't access tty; job control turned off' instead

My HD has /dev/sda1 as windows and flag boot. If I format this to ext3 (removing windows) so I can use it for linux will that cause problems with booting or is the boot sector stored separately from the rest of the fs?

(no need to fix or throw out, when i simply need t gently/.... put... that plug here... or rather here... oh - exactly here. See? It works... oh, wait a sec, let's put it back here, it should work now. ) stuff

hmm... gdm is the Gnome Display Manager. A gnome based display manager based on xdm, but with no original xdm code. Written with looks (and security) in mind.. see gdm fix, or uses ~/.gnomerc instead of ~/.xsession, or kicks ass!, or (a word that You can confuse with "gpm", gpm is that thingy to have mouse cursor in text console)

rumour has it, xdm is the X windows login screen you might see every time you boot up. If you don't like it and want to just boot into console mode, you can read /usr/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ for a full explanation, or just 'dpkg --purge xdm', or 'apt-get remove xdm' (yes it's safe to remove task-x-*)

services is, like, to view and alter system services, use one or more of <rcconf>, sysvconfig, <sysv-rc-conf>, update-rc.d or ls, ln and rm in /etc/rc?.d/, or /etc/services a port numbers list, or http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

Debian does not use a specific runlevel for graphical display managers by default. Just remove the dm package(s) with "apt-get remove xdm kdm wdm login.app gdm pdm slim". "update-rc.d -f xdm remove" and friends will also disable the dm until a package update is installed and the runlevel symlinks are restored. NEWSFLASH! echo "false" >/etc/X11/default-display-manager, or a temporary solution is to hit ctl-alt-fN to get to a console.

djc: here's the settings of my system: my host OS is Debian 5.0, and i want to be able to run windows xp pro as a guest OS. i need the sound to be able to work in xp pro but it gives me an error that no sound card is detected in vmware

First: See if the package has already been backported. Ask me about <backports>. If it hasn't, 1) Add ONLY a "deb-src ..." line for sid to your sources.list. 2) apt-get update 3) apt-get install build-essential; apt-get build-dep packagename;apt-get -b source packagename; 4) install the resultant debs. If you are just wanting to change the compilation options, ask me about <package recompile>, or see <uupdate> if sid is too old

Hi,I got a problem : when run the commadn# tar -jxvf fvwm.bz2 ,it errors:tar: bzip2: Cannot exec: No such file or Directory,Error is not recoverable, child returned status 2;;;;file is definitely present!!So why this happen??Thanks..

While doing upgrade I'm asked a question that I'm unsure how to answer. Can someone explain what this is asking? One or more of the files /etc/pam.d/common-{auth,account,password,session} have been modified. Please indicate whether these local changes should be overwridden using the system-provided configuration. If you decline this option, you will need to manage your system's authentication configuration by hand. Override local changes to /etc/pa

itachi: The AR242x (168C:001C) is supported by both the kernel-supplied ath5k driver and non-free Madwifi driver. If you've installed Madwifi using the Debian packages, your interface is ath0, not wlan0, due to the blacklisting of the ath5k driver.

The HP Pavilion dv2000 that I am working on doesn't have sound; I found a HowTo for Ubuntu but I am getting Make errors when trying to compile Alsa-drivers, can anyone look at this for me? http://pastebin.com/m7a0d82b1

well im not the one who created the server, but then the former proxy died and needs to be replaced and when i did that,everytime i try to run apt-get update it always shows ip of former proxy and says no route to host error
